Jack Jones has gone from defending passes at USC to defending himself in court in a very short amount of time.

Per USCFootball.com:

The former five-star recruit left the Trojans earlier this week to enroll at a junior college after being ruled academically ineligible by the university for the 2018 season. Needless to say, playing football this year is very much on the back-burner after getting arrested and facing those kinds of serious charges.

Jones’ loss on the field was still a significant one for USC after he started all 13 games at corner in 2017 and led the team in interceptions with four. Clay Helton and his staff were already preparing to be without him for the upcoming season but that would likely appear to be a permanent dissociation based on this latest bit of news.
